The trail doesn’t stand a chance

Built on the same all-new platform as the 2027 CRF450R, the CRF450RX is engineered for off-road dominance. Specially valved Showa® suspension, an 18-inch rear wheel, and factory handguards help it take on demanding terrain with precision and control. And like its MX brother, it’s improved in every way: new engine, new frame, lighter weight, with power and torque tuned for the way riders actually ride — not just dyno charts. Finished in bold new red, white, and blue styling, its tri-color look proudly reflects the Honda HRC racing identity on which this off-road beast is built.

Tame the trees

450cc Unicam® engine

A new engine this year features a redesigned Unicam® valve layout that aligns intake and exhaust rockers on a common axis to increase valvetrain rigidity and create a more compact package.  

Tame the trees

18-inch rear wheel

Designed for enduro use, the 18-inch rear wheel and tire combo provides better bump absorption and a broader contact patch to smooth out the roots, ruts, and rocks that come with off-road riding.

Tame the trees

New frame

The 2027 frame may look the same, but it’s really all-new, with slightly more steering rake and a longer wheelbase. The major frame components have been fine-tuned for rigidity and weight loss. Meanwhile, the footpegs moved back 5mm  making it easier to shift your weight over the rear wheel to help it hook up. 

Tame the trees

Smaller, lighter engine

The complete redesign results in an engine that delivers 10.3 percent more peak horsepower, 3.7 percent more peak torque, and is 17mm narrower and nearly 6 pounds lighter than the 2026 model.

Sidestand

Real enduro bikes need a sidestand, and we’ve given this bike a great one. Because there’s no muffler on the left side, we have tucked the sidestand closer when it’s folded for better clearance.

Showa® spring fork

Specially tuned for off-road riding, the new 49mm Showa® fork features Kashima coating to the internal sliding components, enhancing stroke feel and improving smoothness. A DBS (Dynamic Blow System) main-piston valve increases compression damping in the extremely low- to low-speed range, improving stroke consistency.
